This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Texas Adopt-A-Beach program! Make plans to join us and volunteers around the world as we clean shores during the International Coastal Cleanup. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the cleanup is from 9 am until 11:00 am.
Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. Adopt-A-Beach will provide all necessary cleanup materials.
About the Texas Adopt-A-Beach Program:
Since the first cleanup in 1986, more than 551,000 Texas Adopt-A-Beach volunteers have picked up nearly 10,000 tons of trash from Texas beaches, some of it originating from as far away as South America.
Due to tide patterns in the Gulf, trash dumped anywhere in the gulf is likely to end up on a Texas beach. Volunteers record information such as the source and type of debris collected on data cards. This data has been instrumental in the passage of international treaties and laws aimed at reducing the amount of offshore dumping.
Keeping Texas beaches clean and safe is an economic as well as environmental priority. Coastal tourism, a $7 billion industry, and commercial fishing, a $1.9 billion business, demand clean beaches and a healthy gulf to thrive.
Expand your community association knowledge and discover innovative ways that help you stay competitive while keeping your community out of legal trouble. During the CAI Greater Houston Chapter 2025 Legal Seminar, you will engage in learning experiences in a variety of formats, encounter diverse perspectives, and explore new ways to guide and manage your associations.
This is the premier legal seminar in the state that delivers Texas-specific legal information on HOAs and condominium associations. Take advantage of this opportunity to gain wisdom from legal experts, each of whom will share actionable tools and insights you can take back to the office.
